East Sussex Fire Authority will discuss whether to go out for consultation on a number of proposals to enhance how East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service responds to risk.
An online Extraordinary meeting is planned for 23 April 2020.
The Planning for a Safer Future proposals are part of a regular planning process to find out what risks exist in our communities and what the Service should do to keep people safe.
These include:
- Crewing – we’ve looked at the shift patterns worked by our firefighters
- Fire engines – we’ve looked at the type and number of fire engines we have
- Expanding the building safety and prevention work we do in communities
- Reducing 999 calls – we’ve looked at how we can engage with the community and with businesses
- Non-emergency calls – we’ve looked at whether we should still go to some kinds of calls, such as bird rescues, where no human life is at risk
